Frye, Chief URBANA MINERAL ECONOMICS BRIEF *3 October 1961 ILLINOIS STATE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY 3 3051 00007 1989 SU>a»IARY OF ILLINOIS MI^:ERAL PRODUCTION IN 1960 W. L. Busch Illinois in 1960 produced 615.8 million dollars worth of mineral prcd- uci.6 - a new all-time record for mineral production. The previous Illinois re- cord was established in 1956 when 613.4 million dollars worth of mineral prod- acfs \jevQ prc.l'jcad. Tlie new record exceeds the 1959 total by 9.5 million dol- lars, with some mineral products reflecting the total increase and others re- maining at or near 1959 levels. The value of fuels produced in Illinois in 19G0 was 67.8 percent of the total value of all minerals. The production of these fuels — coal, crude oil and associated products--remained very close to 1959 levels. The second largest group of Illinois minerals in terms of total value are the stone products, which include crushed stona, cement, and lime. As a group these commodities contributed 15 percent of the total 1960 value. The tonnage and value of cruched stone reported produced during 1960 showed signi- ficant increases over the amounts reported for 1959. Alt,h''J3h producticn of clay products in Illinois during 1960 declined slightly in toLal value, the 56. :• mi 'lion dollars contributed by this indust-y aniounted to 9.2 percent of the Cr-ite's over-all mineral products value. Illinois clay products include face brick, cozLnon brick, structural tile, drain and sev.'er tile, refractories, pottery, and Mhiicrjure. In 1960 sand and gravel production increased slightly over 1959 levels and furnished 5.5 percent of tha lotel Illinois mineral value. This group of minerals includes coianon sand and pro'/r^l, silica sand, and natural bonded m3;c- ir.g sand. Flue-spar, zinc, and l?:-.d, the otho.: mir.e als produced in Illinois, all shovid a gain in production "Joc uhi year. An ? croup these three minetaZs had a value of over 15 million dollars in 1960 and supplied 2.5 percent of the state's total value of mineral output.
